Oh, well. I think Eric did a fine job. When it comes to interpreting Rose, there is no end of opinions. I went through the Rose 32 with Ron deKant when he was with the New Orleans Philharmonic. One of his best friends was fellow Bonade student Robert Listokin. Every summer, Ron and Robert would get together to critique each other's playing.
I learned from them that when Daniel Bonade was asked to record the Rose 32, he chose Listokin to play the etudes. Bonade hovered over Listokin like a helicopter parent, asking for his reed after nearly every take so he could "fix" it and giving coaching admonitions interspersed with cheerleading. deKant said that Bonade felt Listokin played the Rose 32 exactly according to Bonade's preferences. Perhaps a few years' earlier, Bonade would have had Mitchell Lurie or Robert Marcellus (his two favorite pupils) do the recording, but at the time, Listokin was his man.
Anyway, after these many years, someone has posted all of the Listokin performances of the Rose 32 on YouTube. I wish they would also post the wonderful recording of the Zampa solo with Bonade himself playing that was on the same recording.
Here, as a sample, are 4 of the Rose etudes that will probably be familiar to anyone who has studied them, as played by Robert Listokin under the very watchful eye of Bonade himself:
Rose 32--etudes 9, 10, 11, and 12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAps4XbAnLo.
Comments anyone?
